Chromosome specimens are prepared by the peripheral blood lymphocyte cultivation, airing and embryonic, with karyotype, G and C band analysis. The results showed that the number of chromosomes of chicken and quail are 2n = 78, including 10 pairs macrochromosomes and 29 minute chromosome, but apparented differences are existed in the morphos of chromosomes, there are comparatively large difference between the number of fringe and the width of fringe of G band stripe of chicken and quail.
